Comedian Destalker Reveals Why He Quit Pallbearer Job

Nigerian comedian Oghenekowhoyan Onaibe Desmond, widely recognized as Destalker, has shared the reasons behind his decision to leave his job as a pallbearer.

Initially, Destalker enjoyed the work and had even planned to start his own undertaker band. However, an unexpected and unsettling event led him to reconsider his career choice.

During an interview with TVC, Destalker recounted a specific incident that changed everything. While he and his colleagues were performing a dance routine with a casket, it unexpectedly shattered when they tossed it into the air.

This alarming experience profoundly frightened him, prompting him to abandon the profession altogether.

Destalker said, “When I joined the undertaker band initially, I wasn’t carrying caskets. I was only dancing because I know how to dance very well. I won best Makossa dancer in my street before.

“But after six or seven months, I started carrying caskets. I was really enjoying it but there was an incident that happened. Let me tell you why I stopped because by now I’m supposed to have my own undertaker band. We went to carry a female corpse from Asaba to Igbuzo. When we were about to enter the compound, the children of the deceased asked us to dance with the casket. As we were throwing it up, suddenly, it shattered. The coffin was fake.

“It wasn’t funny. That was how I lost interest in the undertaker job.”
